NBA All-Star Weekend: Steph Curry tops Sabrina Ionescu; Mac McClung defends slam dunk title

In case you were wondering: McClung said he'll think about returning for the dunk contest next year. "I never say never."

Here's the dunk that won it all:

It's OVER! McClung gets his 50. He's the back-to-back champ.

Shaq is back! McClung put him in a Gate City jersey, had him hold the ball over his head and slammed it. Nice.

That's a statement! Leaped over Donovan Mitchell and dunked with the left hand. Judges say 49.2.

Hmm... Brown put a sparkly glove on his left hand. Looks like he's addressing social media buzz that he can't go left.

McClung raised the bar for his opener, and it scored a 48.8. He dunked over two people, hard to beat.

Are we no longer impressed by anything? Or do we really need the superstars to do this?

Mac McClung vs Jaylen Brown in the final, and Brown opens up by missing his first attempt again. He bounced back with a what looked like a normal windmill. It scored a 48.6.

At least there’s one NBA player in the dunk final. And props to Jaylen Brown for being a star who actually decided to do it … even though the crowd didn’t like the Celtics parquet LED on the floor.

Jaylen's back! With Kai Cenat and Jayson Tatum out as props, he missed his first attempt. He made the second, taking a lob from Tatum and leaping over a seated Cenat. The crowd didn't like it, and he scored a 47.6. Sounds like the crowd has some issues with the inconsistent judging.

Gary Payton told @yahoosports he was not gonna reward dunks that had multiple attempts. Betting he’s the holdout for Mac.

McClung is out for that perfect score. Don't even know how to describe what he just did but it was impressive and he scored a 49.4.

Toppin's second dunk was a killer! But he got penalized for not making his first attempt, scoring a 47.2.

This was Jaylen Brown's first dunk, best score so far.

Jaquez is up again. He followed up with a nice 360, scoring a 46.8.

Mac McClung's first dunk might not have gone smoothly on the first attempt, but it seemed like it deserved a 50. He got a 48.0.

These guys always look surprised when they’re brought out as human props. First Shaq, now Obi Toppin.

The Steph vs Sabrina contest was the first time tonight you could feel the enormity of this place. It’s hard for something to be intimate, communal and bigger than life all at the same time

Jacob Toppin followed suit, going for a double-pump and leaping over his brother, Obi. Judges gave him a 47.8.

47.4 for Jaquez

Oh! He opened it up with a one-armed windmill over THE DIESEL. Let's see what the judges think.

Jaquez is up first and he has Shaq on the court. Intriguing!

Meet the judges: 9-time All-Star Gary Payton, former Pacer Fred Jones, 6-time All-Star Mitch Richmond and 1985 dunk contest champ Dominique Wilkins.

If anything, Steph and Sabrina showed how far we've come since the Battle of the Sexes. The grace of both toward each other was evident, as was the fact that they were the two greatest shooters in the building. Steph took the championship belt, but Sabrina hung with who she (and everyone) called "the greatest to ever do it."Final score: 29-26. Steph: "This might be something we need to do more often."

Sabrina Ionescu says, even though she and Steph Curry are friends, Steph was booing her and trying to get in her head during yesterday’s practice together. “He wants to win,” she said of tonight’s 3-point shootout between the two. “If I wasn’t nervous, I wouldn’t be human.” She wants to show every girl that they can beat the boys on the playground.

Damian Lillard is the first back-to-back 3-point contest winner since Jason Kapono in 2007-08. Peja Stojakovic (2002-03), Jeff Hornacek (1998, 2000), Mark Price (1993-94) and Craig Hodges (1990-91) also went back-to-back. Larry Bird (1986-88) is the only player to win 3 in a row.

They ran this thing called the Indy 5 between the Skills Challenge and 3-point contest. Basically, the LED court showed a rolling street with potholes that Benny the Bull and Pierre the Pelican had to avoid as they dribbled from one end to the other. Except, it malfunctioned on Benny the Bull, and he had to start over twice. They somehow still ended up at the other end of the floor at the same time. It was bizarre.
